But I have since realised that they put a 25% mark up on the ticket price compared to buying tickets directly!! Unfortunately I didn't realise this at the time and they have a no refund policy. Does anyone have any…

Amazon.com fast delivery
I know that Amazon get mixed reviews on here but I just thought I'd post my most recent experience with them. Last Saturday ( 28th Sept) I placed an order on Amazon.com. This was only a low value item ($10.89) but is something I couldn't get in the UK. The charge for delivery to the UK was $4.44 bringing the total to…

Parcel Scam?
...Is it? I have no idea. This is what happened. I came home today (Sunday) and found a small parcel had been delivered by DPD. I was expecting an Amazon delivery, so I never even read the label, just opened the box, and inside was a pack of dog joint supplements. I haven't got a dog (now) and didn't order that from…

Praise for Burton McCall Ltd
I have a pair of Felco secateurs. I want to take them apart at the end of the season and give them a good clean. I know they usually provide a little gadget to use to take them apart, specially made for their secateurs but I'd lost mine. Yes, I know you can use a screwdriver instead, but mine were all too big. I emailed…

Fake HMRC rebate text message
Last night I received what looked like a fake text message from HMRC about a rebate I am due. Obviously I didn't click the link in it, which I suspect would then want my bank account details for the payment to be processed. Obviously I cannot know for sure where the smishers got my mobile number from. Earlier in the day I…

Avoid Flatdog UK Ltd!
Just that really. Almost two weeks ago we purchased a ladder to match the roof rack on our Land Rover Defender from Flatdog UK Ltd. £100+. Delivery info online stated 1-3 days was usual. Obviously there's been a bank holiday weekend in the way so gave them the benefit of the doubt when it hadn't arrived by Tuesday 27th.…
